MPUMA LIONS STRIKE AGAIN

THE lions of Marloth Park in Mpumalanga struck again last week, attacking two men in the streets of the exclusive holiday town. The attacks took place just four months after lions killed and ate a man in the town, which borders the Kruger National Park east of Malelane, and where wild animals are allowed to roam freely. Gerhard de Lange of the Marloth Park Lion Project said the lions that attacked this week were females that were collared to track their movements after the kill last year.
